Inspired by the bold brilliance of traditional Bordeaux blends, the Cataclysm Red Blend puts a little chaos in the mix with robust Syrah and Petite Sirah. The nose is brooding with aromas of stewed fruit, bramble, black currant and mocha. Bright cherry and raspberry envelop the palate with hints of spice. This is a deeply structured blend with a velvety mouthfeel that lingers with tar and licorice.

29% Merlot, 28% Syrah, 26% Malbec, 11% Petite Sirah, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon

Cataclysm Wine Company was born from the understanding that things don’t always go to plan. Great upheaval is an opportunity for a new beginning. 20,000 years after the floods that shaped the Columbia Valley, this wine is true to the land and the hands that made it—classically drinkable but surprisingly complex, it is a testament to why Washington State has become one of the most exciting wine-growing regions in the world. Like nature, it balances power with grace and reminds us that our world is in a constant state of reinvention.

This medium-bodied blend of mostly Merlot, Syrah and Malbec is balanced and pleasing. Ample tannins back copious amounts of raspberries and peaches, along with aromas and flavors of sweet pea flowers, black tea and vanilla. Best Buy -M.A.
